There are a few new names on the list this week, but two of the more interesting ones are Ryan Walker and Justin Martinez. With 24.5% K-BB and 32.6% CSW rates, as well as a 2.60 SIERA on the season, Walker as a full time closer might be a top 5 closing option right now. He is the Giants closer for now, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility Doval returns in a few weeks and gets a chance to take his job back. For now, Walker is worth the add in almost all formats as long as he is the teams closer.

NEW YORK (AP) — JJ Bleday hit his first career grand slam, Shea Langeliers reached base five times for the second time in three games and the Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the New York Mets 7-6 on Thursday in the longest nine-inning game since the pitch clock was instituted last season. “It felt like the longest game in the pitch clock era,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said with a wry grin. The game, played on a hot and humid afternoon in which the first pitch temperature was 85 degrees, lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes — one minute longer than the previous mark set by the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants in Mexico City on Apr. 29, 2023. The Athletics and Mets combined to throw 425 pitches, the most in a nine-inning game this season.
